Sounds like suggestion. Honestly, I'm not sure whether you can change the amount of flares each individual aircraft can carry or not. I know that in real life a UH-1N carries 60, the AH-1Z will carry 120, the AV-8B carries around 180, H-60 variants carry 60 and that about sums up what I know for sure.

But I do agree, attack helos should have more flares since they're more commonly shot at with AA and pilots do routinely drop a lot of flares on attack runs.

sounds like a suggestion this.

I think its good how it is now, most cas pilots rtb directly after they made a cas run to rearm there hellfires, hydras and cannon, and ofcourse flares. but I think 5 sets of flares is enough like it is now.

btw 6 sets of flares is 36 flares not 60. they drop 6 flares at one time.

I think it was mentioned in one of the changelogs, but flares are there for balance. By having a low flare count, it limits the ability of an attack helo to stay around and rape the enemy team. This also means that you need to work as a team to eliminate AA threats (SEAD anyone?).

Also, why do you want more flares in attack helicopters? I thought they were easy to use?

As pointed out this is a suggestion outside the correct guidelines.
